text: &#x2F; SEEKING WORK<p>Location: Provo, Utah<p>Profit from my poor planning!  Let me be your dorky subordinate freelancer that you contract the crappy stuff out to!<p>You: an experienced freelancer with more work than you can handle --- or maybe you just have an eye for arbitrage.<p>Me:  a better programmer than businessman.  I&#x27;m going back to school in April and need to pay for tuition.  A lot of my problems would disappear with a good amount of work at $20-30&#x2F;hr (1099) for a few months (or possibly longer; let&#x27;s talk).<p>&quot;He quoted his rate first, which is <i>stupidly</i> low, and he wasted my time telling me about his problems?  This guy is like the worst freelancer ever.&quot;  Yes!  Now&#x27;s your chance to nab that sweet sweet middleman money!<p>&quot;No one could be that desperate.&quot;  Dude, I wrote this last night upon returning from a 10PM - 2AM janitor job.  Trust me, I am <i>good to go</i>.<p>&quot;OK, well, can you, like, actually do anything?&quot;<p>Yes!  My main focus has been Clojurescript&#x2F;React SPA&#x27;s.  My last gig was for a venture-backed SF startup.  Before that I spent a couple years slaving away on a cross between Excel and a Lisp environment, rendered in SVG by CLJS.  I&#x27;ve also done work in Ruby and Python, though I&#x27;m weaker on their standard libraries.  Do I mind boning up on anything, unpaid?  No.  Remember: <i>janitor</i>.<p>&quot;I mean, we&#x27;re talking remote here, are you going to be a giant headache?&quot;  No.  I have experience working remote, probably just like you, and know the pitfalls.<p>&quot;What&#x27;s the catch?&quot;  In the end, of course, you&#x27;ll have to judge for yourself!  From my side though:  I&#x27;m looking to satisfice on deal flow, rather than optimize on rate.
  Hopefully we can help each other.<p>Tab over to your email (c&#x27;mon, you know you have it open), and send any sort of message to devarbitrage@gmail.com.  It will automatically respond with my name, phone number, and actual email.  Let&#x27;s talk!
